After a month without Lines -- on Friday or any other day -- Fixistas need their, um, Fix.
And, of course, we aim to please. So this week we are doing two Lines -- one today looking at the ten most influential Republican leaders in the party and then one tomorrow ranking the ten Senate races most likely to switch parties in 2010.
Republicans have seen something of a reversal of fortune since we last penned a Line looking at their relatively meager list of leaders.
(snip)
10. John Cornyn
9. Sarah Palin
8. Mitch Daniels
7. Mike Huckabee
6. John Boehner/Mitch Mcconell
5. Michael Steele
4. Newt
3. Haley Barbour
2. Tim Pawlenty
1. Mitt Romney

It’s a Washington Post list, calm down.
Strike about 2/3rds of that list.
We don’t need no steenkin leaders *spat*
Its a Post hit list.
Can we eventually add our crazy little Indian in Louisiana, Bobby?
Actually,this means nothing. The TOP #1 CONSERVATIVE influence is ....Sarah.THAT means much,much more.
Romney!!!!! Oh brother.
Of course, they are the same paper who told us that Rudy McRomney were the only viable candidates last time. And the idiot GOP primary voters believed them
I’ll keep #3 and #9. The rest, I’m not so sure about. It could be worse. I don’t see John McCain or Rudy on the list.
I listen to Sarah and Haley from that list, maybe Newt. and I like Cornyn at times.
That’s about it.
If you object to some of the names on this hardly objective WaPo list, see the videos below.
Please DO NOT misunderstand my reasons for producing these two videos. If folks want to gather together to let “them” know that “we,” like Howard Beal in “Network” are “…mad as hell and not going to take it any more…,” it’s STILL – for the time being anyway – a relatively free country so we can do that.
All I’m saying here is that, especially in tough economic times, there are more EFFICIENT and EFFECTIVE ways to expend our FINITE RESOURCES.
It’s not as much fun as sweating on the Mall but there IS a better – and less costly — way to scare hell out of “them” — and you won’t even have to leave home.

Question marks by 5,6,7......they run hot and cold, imho. Cornyn (my Senator) has disappointed my a couple of times but I guess he’s OK. Why is Sarah in 9th place?.....she has more nads than all of the others put together.....:)
This would be like the university of Michigan putting together a list of the top Ohio State players.
This is how we got McCain. Liberals in the MSM tell us that our only hope is someone like Romney. Some Republicans believe it, and in addition, our open primaries allow a lot of Democrats to pick a loser for us and voila! Democrat Lite!
IF this is a true list of the most influential persons in the party (and please note I consider it a Big If), then the republicans continue to have a near complete dearth of REAL leaders.
Odd. If Romney or Pawlenty were the most influential Republicans, why aren’t they attacked 24/7 by the media?
A ridiculous list from the WaCompost.
Yeah, right....trying to make the list so they can DRIVE the players THEY want! We’re on to ya!
Not to mention the fact that she can raise more money in one speaking appearance than the other nine on the list combined.
Can we eventually add our crazy little Indian in Louisiana, Bobby?
